a box consists of 12 light bulbs, of which 3 are defective. If you select 2 at random, without replacement, find the probability that none of the light bulbs are defective
----------
Note: # of defective = 3 ; # not-defective = 9
------------------------------------
P(none of 2 are defective) = 9C2/12C2 = 36/66 = 6/11
